Surrounded by more than a dozen townspeople, the seventh uncle walked to the caravan led by Al Khan with a gloomy face on crutches. Looking at their formation, it must be to drive them out of town.

But to Bai Xiaoyi's surprise, the old-fashioned and stubborn old man just glanced coldly at Liuxin, who was packing up his things on the side, and then snorted coldly and said:

"Guests from afar, I don't care about the purpose of your trip and your identity. I just want you to remember that this town of Clearwater has its own rules, and as long as you don't do something that breaks the rules, we don't mind letting you rest here for the night. But if any of you break the rules, don't blame us for our poor hospitality. ”

After slamming the crutches in his hand, the old man immediately turned to the direction of Bai Xiaoyi's master and apprentice. The thin old man looked up and down at the two outsiders who claimed to be demon hunters, one old and one young, and changed his previous enthusiasm to an indifferent expression and said:

"I don't care if you are really a celestial master or not, there are really demons and evil people in this town now. If you really have the ability to subdue that thing, we in Qingshui Town will treat it with courtesy. But if you are a swaggering warlock, then don't blame me Liao Qi for saying ugly things in the head, and don't blame us for not saving us when something happens to us. In case you can't subdue that monster, then you should leave our town as soon as possible, just like those foreigners from the Western Regions!"

Bai Xiaoyi, who was openly provoked, was suddenly angry and didn't fight anywhere, and the rogue young man just wanted to refute two sentences, Xi Yingzhen beside him grabbed this apprentice who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said:

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Fang is a poor Taoist who has no way, and I have offended you. But please rest assured, since Poor Dao has promised to help you catch demons, he will definitely do it. Please also ask Uncle Seven to make it convenient for us, and we will definitely give you a result within a day. ”

With a heavy cold snort, the thin old man said with disdain:

"Okay! That's what you said, so I'll give you a day. If there is still no conclusion at this time tomorrow, then please ask the two of you to find another job. ”

Seeing that the old man left far away with the townspeople, Bai Xiaoyi said indignantly:

"I said, master, why are you so polite to them? With your identity, these people have to treat you as an immortal, why suffer from this!"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the old Taoist priest persuaded him as a pair of people:

"Apprentice, this is the rivers and lakes. Don't think that if you have an amazing ability, you can run rampant in this world. Let me tell you, the water in this river and lake is very deep, and if you can't keep any horns, a powerful character suddenly pops out of the corner that you can't afford to offend. There is no harm in walking the rivers and lakes and being low-key

。 What's more, we are cultivators, so we shouldn't care about these things of fame and fortune, and the most important thing is to help the people here. ”

pursed his lips disdainfully, Bai Xiaoyi still muttered unrelentingly:

"Yes, yes, you have a point. But I just can't get used to the old man's cold face, it's clear that they brought us here, what kind of shelf!"

Gently patting the apprentice's shoulder, the old Taoist priest said in a playful tone:

"Let me tell you a trick of walking the rivers and lakes, you can't just look at the surface of people, those who greet each other with a smile are not necessarily good people, and those who speak ill of each other are not necessarily bad people. As the saying goes, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and you have to look at people slowly. ”

Listening to the master's unfathomable words, Bai Xiaoyi didn't seem to understand for a while. He scratched his head and asked with a blank expression:

"So what are we going to do next? Wait for the youkai to come out?"

Looking up at the sky, Xi Yingzhen let out a sigh of relief and said:

"Find a place to eat first, and when we're rested, we'll start with the burned yard. ”

Half an hour later, the master and apprentice, who had finished eating and drinking, went straight to the courtyard that originally belonged to Geng Laojiu's family. From afar, they could smell the stench of burnt yards.

Looking at the ruins that were almost burned to slag, Bai Xiaoyi said with a disgusted face:

"I said master, this is all burned like this, what other clues can there be?"

After squatting on the ground and studying carefully for a long time, the Taoist in green shirts picked up a worm corpse the size of a fingernail and said:

"That's what we're looking for. ”

Leaning over to take a look at the charred corpse of the insect, Bai Xiaoyi asked puzzledly:

"It's all burned like this, what's the use?"

With an unfathomable smile, the old Taoist priest looked at his apprentice and said:

"You kid try to look with your mind. ”

Hearing the master's reminder, Bai Xiaoyi held his breath and closed his eyes. The next moment, he smoothly entered the vision of the heart eye. This time, he finally understood the old Taoist's intentions.

In the ink-like pitch-black picture, there was a faint orange light in the body of the fingernail-sized insect. His expression was stunned, and Bai Xiaoyi exclaimed with some surprise:

"Damn, no. This insect is obviously dead, how can it still have yang energy?"

Frowning and pondering for a while, Xi Yingzhen also said with some uncertainty:

"I don't know much about this teacher, but it stands to reason that something that dies is within seven days

It should emit yin energy, but this insect is obviously dead, but it still has a faint yang energy. It seems that this incident is really related to a certain fire monster. ”

Looking around, the old Taoist priest instructed Bai Xiaoyi:

"Xiao Yi, you look around with your heart and eyes, do you find anything strange?"

Still closing his eyes and looking around intently, Bai Xiaoyi shook his head lightly and said:

"No...... Except for a few of these insect corpses that still carry yang energy, there are no other anomalies. ”

Frowning slightly, Xi Yingzhen asked tentatively:

"Don't you even have half a cent of yin qi?"

Bai Xiaoyi replied firmly:

"Nope!"

Gently brushing the long hair under his chin, the old Taoist priest said thoughtfully:

"That's weird...... Ordinary spirits will leave some yin qi behind no matter how you say it...... What the hell is this thing......

After searching inside and outside this courtyard for two or three times, the master and apprentice still found nothing.

Sighing heavily, the Qingyi Taoist said helplessly:

"There are no clues left in this place, and for now, the only way to find out is to look at the bodies of those who were burned to death. ”

With an expression on his face that was more ugly than crying, Bai Xiaoyi said reluctantly:

"No, I'm going to have to go to the autopsy ......."

Grabbing the apprentice's ear, the old Taoist priest strode out of the courtyard. While walking, Xi Yingzhen said as a matter of course:

"If you want to know the cause of death, you have to go and examine the body. Now that you're in this business, you'll get used to it sooner or later. ”

So, after asking where the body was parked, the master and apprentice hurriedly walked towards the back mountain.

At the same time, in the house of the seventh uncle's house, several prominent figures from the town gathered together, as if discussing something important. After a while, the thin old man commanded in a deep voice:

"Liao Hu, you go to Fengyang County now, and find a way to find a famous demon hunter, I always feel that those two outsiders can't be trusted. ”

A man with five big and three thick men in the corner walked out, clasped his fists and saluted:

"It's Uncle Seven, I'll do it. ”

Seeing the man leave, Liao Qi's eyes gradually became cold. He said in a grim tone:

"Let's just wait one more night, if those two outsiders can't solve this problem. Then, you will do everything according to the plan, take the girl, and sacrifice to the mountain god. ”
